The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart have been one of the coolest things to come out of 2009. I had no expectations from their self titled record when it came out earlier this year, but it turned out to be a great pop rock record that may be up there in my favorite albums of 2009. The wonderful NYC Taper recorded their set at the Bell House from November 15th. This includes a recording of a brand new song called "Say No To Love". It isn't anything different from The Pains output so far, but that's fine [...]
Kip and Peggy in London all photographs by Liz Clough from our interview with the band One of the greatest discoveries of 2009, the adorably noisy rockers of The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart , are releasing a new EP to promote the new single, the hazy 'Higher Than The Stars'. Kip The song, that isn't featured on their debut album, is a gorgeously layered ballad that [...]

Last week, Joe Goddard of Hot Chip released the Apple Bobbing EP containing tracks from his Harvest Festival album which also featured this Four Tet rework.

... no, not from me... it's a bit too early for that although I already have picked some of my favourites. You'll need a few more weeks patience though before I'm letting the cat out of the bag. But fabulous Internet-label Insound has just released their top-50 of free 2009-MP3s, and there are quite a few gems among them. This doesn't really surprise me, as for years now, Insound has been a constant source for great music. So here's another chance to check if you've missed something this [...]
Hoy empiezo el recuento de mis temas favoritos del 2009, un año de muy buenos lanzamientos y retornos esperados (The Cribs ,Maxïmo Park, Kings of Convenience, Sondre Lerche, Phoenix) sin decepcionar. Un año de bandas nuevas que retumbaron en las paredes de mi habitación (The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart, Papercuts, Girls). Un año de conciertos memorables (Radiohead, Kraftwerk, Oasis, Depeche Mode, Tiga, Babasonicos). Espero que el 2010 se aun mejor, pero disfrutemos de lo que queda de este lapso de tiempo. No [...]
Album of the Quarter : A Sunny Day in Glasgow - Ashes Grammar Runners up: Memory Tapes - Seek Magic , Mount Eerie - Wind's Poem I am well aware that this podcast is a good month and a half removed from the end of 2009's third quarter, and that we are balls deep in the year's capping three-month span. But, perhaps the extra reflection has further winnowed the included tracks down from the fickle week to week whims of the blogosphere? Let's just pretend that that's [...]
[Pour écouter sans télécharger, allez visiter l'article] Tweet this post ___ Share on Facebook ___ Bookmark on delicious The Field Mice , c'est un p'tit groupe américain qui aura marqué un nombre encore sous-estimé de gens en 1989 avec ce morceau, "Sensitive", sorti sur le label culte Sarah Records (avec ses pochettes bicolores facilement reconnaissables :-p). J'suis pas sûre, mais il me semble que le single "Sensitive" est le plus gros succès de [...]
Contrast Podcast recently asked music bloggers like myself to submit our favorite 50 songs of the year for their annual "Festive 503 podcast. Our selections were then compiled into a shortlist and now we've been asked to recruit votes to narrow it down. For the curious, I've bolded the 10 songs I personally voted for. I really, really want "Nice Very Nice" by Kurt Vonnegut & Dave Soldier (from their album Ice-9 Ballads ) to make the final list. Not only because it's my favorite song of the year, from my favorite album of the year, [...]
Matter of Time mp3 The Leisure Society The Sleeper ..... ..... buy it Well, now this is getting interesting... Over at the Contrast Podcast , Tim's solicited everyone for their favorite 50 songs of 2009, remember? From all the responses he's compiled the top 155. I'm very impressed with the list! If you didn't submit your faves yet, you've still got a chance to get in the game at this point! Help us out, eh? (I"ve highlighted my top 10 in blue) Here's [...]
Inveterate, jet-setting shoegaze junky and friend of Clicky Clicky mgrooves flew in from the left coast for the Slumberland 20th Anniversary shows in D.C. and Brooklyn last weekend, and captured the video above of Lorelei encoring with former labelmate Lilys ' kaleidoscopic debut single. It's not the entire performance (the beginning is cut off), but it is quite awesome, and we suspect that if you watch until the huge transition at 2:30 you're mind may be blown. So while our dream of Lilys performing a surprise set during the celebration did not come [...]

La scorsa settimana abbiamo terminato il nostro viaggio attraverso gli album più importanti del decennio che si sta concludendo. Abbiamo quindi pensato di riassumere il tutto in questo post che non è altro che la lista completa, tappa per tappa, degli album che di volta in volta abbiamo approfondito, in modo tale da avere una sorta di indice delle varie puntate. Dopo il salto trovate anche la listona di tutti gli album che di anno in anno sono stati inseriti fra "gli album da salvare". [...]
We're quite bummed we missed the epic Slumberland Records 20th Anniversary concert last weekend at the Bell House. Thank God however, for bootlegs because thanks to nyctaper we've got a live recording of The Pains of Being Pure At Heart's entire set which includes the premiere of a brand new song. "Say No to Love" contains everything we've come to love about the Pains - jangly guitar, breathy
After waxing nostalgic (complete with MP3s) about about the first-wave Slumberland bands I dug in the '90s, it only seems healthy to go outside, live in the present a little, and take a look at the intermingling of old/new that took place at the Bell House this weekend at the NYC chapter of the label's 20th Anniversary celebration: Some well-known new-school Slumberlanders like Crystal Stilts, Frankie Rose and The Outs, and BTW the Pains Of Being Pure At Heart joined upstarts Brown Recluse and Pants Yell! along with senior ambassadors the [...]

Fans huddling around the merch table for the Slumberland 20th Anniversary Party at The Bell House. Featured acts for the night included Brown Recluse, Nord Express, Lorelei, Pants Yell!, The Ropers, Pains of Being Pure at Heart and Crystal Stilts. The show was a sell-out and more, with fans clamoring around merchandise, freshly made papusa's (we're not kidding) and jamming out to Slumberland's owner Mike Schulman's tunes before the first set with Brown Recluse, and then between bands. We experienced an evening of tremendous spirit, and energy that came from the crowd who were there [...]
[ photo by nyctaper ] The Pains of Being Pure at Heart have had a "awesome year", and lead singer/guitarist Kip Berman thanked Mike Schulman and Slumberland Records for their part in the band's success last night at the label's 20th Anniversary concert last night at Bell House. Despite the late set time (after 1 a.m.) Pains delivered a scintillating thirty-five minute set of their " Best New Music " power pop, that included seven songs from their full length , the title song from their new EP , and [...]
This year, I've seen The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart more times than any other act (that tally would be five for those counting at home). Last night's performance was just as brilliant as all the rest. Heaven! Official TMS Rating: 9/10. All shots by our wonderful staff photographer, Alexis Maindrault. More photos, the setlist [...]
